Scriptures used:

• Psalms 105

Subject:

• Let us love one another.  It is a commandment that doesn’t come naturally to us.
• Sometimes it doesn’t occur to us to pray for someone in need.
• We need to show our love for the Lord by asking Him to direct us to minister unto others, even at those inconvenient times.
• For example, Samuel was called by the Lord in his sleep.  Whether he liked it or not he got up.
• Look for opportunities to be compassionate, and show kindness to someone else.
• Convenience accords with us.  Make it about Him and others.  If you do that, the Lord will move.
• Give thanks unto the Lord.  Love one another as He loved us.  That is not natural.  He doesn’t edify our natural man.
• When you get nervous about things, sing songs unto Him, praise Him.  He moves mightily on our behalf.
• Talk about the things He has done to give encouragement to others, and it will remind ourselves also.
• We can rejoice because of the hope we have, through experience.  We rejoice in anticipation of the Lord answering our prayer.
• We feel inadequate but His strength is perfect for all these situations.
• We exercise faith in seeking His strength, then we have a rebirth of hope.
• We learn by His judgments.  They are clear.
• The story of the faith of the Syrophenician woman.
• We are more than conquerors through Him.  If we don’t walk in it we don’t believe it.
• He gave everyone faith to believe God.  We can do this.  The flesh doesn’t believe God.
• The flesh is the enemy of the walk of faith.   You overcome the carnal man to believe Jesus.
• If we don’t take His marching orders and do them, why would He help us?
• When the people didn’t listen to the prophets, it turned out bad for those people.
• Joseph was faithful to Potipher despite how he was treated, in each capacity.  Then he ruled over the people.
• It is important to shew His marvelous works as well as to talk about them.  Israel went from slavery to spoiling the others.  That is the power of God.
• The children of Israel died int he desert, and didn’t believe.  The ones who entered in walked in His wondrous works.  This is what testifies that we believe.
• If you believe God you will walk in His wondrous works, and He will confirm the Word with signs following.
• If we don’t do that, how are people to know Him?
